The Book of Tragedy Lyrics

I've been biting my tongue till it bleeds it's time you know how I feel
I'm convinced that you're all that I need this haunting can't be real
I see your eyes when I close my own and it's your name I'm screaming
When I wake.
This can't be reality, dear darling I am beat
I gave you the world beneath my chest
Now it's seared in flames, I'm left motionless
Every year seemed to pass us by
Now days seem like my last I'm about to die
And even though I tried so hard, I guess it wasn't in the cards
And even though I cared so much/ it wasn't enough just to touch
Trying to wipe the pages clean, make sense of the s*** in my head
But the pen marks come alive; they say
"Words mean little when you're dead."
And I can't erase my name from the book of tragedy.
And I can't erase my name, somebody set me free
The next time you'll see my face again
will be staring up at you from my f****** grave.
